Arhaekon

Arhaekon is a turn-based roguelike RPG dungeon crawler set in a grimdark world on the brink of collapse. You lead small bands of units through procedurally generated dungeons, fighting corruption and eldritch abominations in an effort to save humanity. Combat is battle-focused, with very limited mobility, and victory depends on party synergy, clever combinations and adapting to ruthless enemies.

Dungeons and combat

Explore 14 themed regions filled with enemies and lore, and face four bosses with unique mechanics. Dungeons are procedurally generated, and units can die permanently. Decisions in both management and combat matter, and cannot be undone.

Units and corruption

You command 12 units across four classes, each with unique abilities and progression. Recruit and manage your party, enhance and level up units, mend their wounds, strengthen their resolve, and allocate stat points when they level up. The corruption system requires you to manage units’ health and sanity as they tune into the enemies’ song.

Camp and equipment

Manage and upgrade your refugee camp and its facilities. Find loot including crafting recipes, lore pages and ritual rites, which come in five rarity tiers. Soul-bound augments are randomly generated, and the equipment system is designed to prevent hoarding. Use the compendium of shaping to upgrade or obtain equipment.

Progress and atmosphere

Progress through dungeons non-linearly, discover collectible lore that provides bonuses, and experience experimental, quasi-procedurally generated music in a bleak, grim world.
